I was not confident about Rebellion being in charge of a development process of remaking 1980 arcade BZ at first time. However it sounds fascinating that they were also planning to create an exclusively remastered 1998 BZ version. If there would be any major changes to be made, hopefully they won't go too far off track from the foundational concept and design of the original game (Although I won't have any kind of objections even with heavy alterations since Rebellion had already bought a legitimate copyright of the title 'Battlezone' from Atari, so now they are the authoritative people who possess an official right with the title).

Personal Declaration: I always use different usernames across different websites. Hence if you ever see my username is being used outside of Stoudson Corporation, I absolutely have no affiliation whatsoever with that!

I played a couple of levels and it seems to be almost exactly like the original, with somewhat refurbished graphics and support for modern systems (this was actually implemented in the later BZ 98 patches as well). I haven't tried multiplayer yet.
